First off, I don't think Bush nor Rice nor Cheney, the president, are in a position to decide who's evil. They may feel they are but I am perfectly able to make that call for myself. Do you think they are less perfectly able to make that call for themselves or do you feel that it is wrong for them to try to convince people that their opinion in this area is correct? Secondly, if evil is the basis for going to war... Never said it was, at least not by itself. It's a nice thing to add however. I'd sooner go to war against an evil regime then a relatiely free democracy but I agree that there has to be more reason then just "X dictator is evil". Why do you think Sadam is more dangerous than say Pakistan's Mussereff? He has been more aggressive, and more hostile to the US and its interests. He is also more abusive of people inside his country (not the Mussereff is a boy scout but he is just a more normal dictator in that way not a particularly odious one), but that particular fact doesn't necessarily mean he is more dangerous to the outside world. OTOH Pakistan does have nukes all ready and also has more people so if Mussereff (sp?) made himself the enemy of the US as much as Saddam has made himself an enemy then Pakistan would be very dangerous.
